MMC Approach to security

An X.509 certificate binds a user’s public key to his identity and is digitally signed by a (trusted) certificate authority.



• Strong authentication via client and server X.509 certificates.
  • One-time user login to activate user’s private key
  • Key can be exported and used for S/MIME encrypted E-mail and other applications
  • We hope to use this security context (the user’s keys) to provide strong authorization
